Ethan Pecko earns first win as Astros beat Mets 6-3

Houston Astros rookie Ethan Pecko secured his first major-league victory Sunday, helping his team finish a six-game road trip in New York with a 6-3 win against the Mets. Pecko struggled early at Citi Field, allowing back-to-back home runs to Francisco Lindor and Juan Soto in the first inning. Following a visit from pitching coach Josh Miller, the 24-year-old right-hander settled down to throw four additional scoreless innings. LaMonte Wade Jr. delivered a decisive hit that shifted the game in Houston's favor, while the bullpen provided four scoreless frames to seal the result. The victory marks a positive shift for an Astros team that recently dealt with a difficult homestand and the dismissal of general manager Dana Brown.
